Storyline:

Twelve year-old Vincent is not a child quite like the others: he has an IQ significantly higher than the average. Solitary, he spends a lot of time to reflect.

His father, a craftsman in bankruptcy, lives very badly the success of his wife, a true “wonder woman” in which everything seems to succeed. He feels deprived of his role as head of the family.
